Chapter 4: A Hike in the Woods

Candace woke up the next morning. She looked at the time, it was 9 am. Everyone was missing. She walked into the hotel hallway and found them in the breakfast room. She opened the French doors and went to take a seat by her family.

"Candace honey, today we're going for a hike in the woods." Linda said excitedly. Candace yawned. "I finished Twilight." She said. Linda ignored her. She had heard enough of Twilight the past few days.

Candace ordered pancakes with syrup. She grabbed a glass of orange juice and quickly gulped that down. Her food came quickly. She gobbled it up and then went back to the room with Phineas, Ferb, Linda, and Lawrence. They all put on sneakers and shorts.

They walked to the nearby forest behind the hotel. They didn't follow a trail, since there was none. They dodged mosquitoes and flies. They saw a bee hive and a bird's nest.

Finally as they got deeper into the woods the Flynn-Fletcher's heard rustling of the leaves. A gigantic wolf rushed right past them, a few feet from them. Everyone's face stared in horror.

Meanwhile…

Bella sniffed the forest air. "Edward, I smell humans." She said worried. "Let's get Renesmee and go." The two ran through the forest at an incredibly fast speed. They looked for their daughter.

Finally they found her on Jacob's back. They looked in front of them to see the Flynn-Fletcher family.

Candace stared in amazement. These were the same people from the beach. The same mysterious couple.

"Um, hello." Edward said in a nervous voice. "Hi… what are you doing out here?" Lawrence asked. "We lost our daughter Nessie on Jacob." Bella pulled her daughter off of Jacob's back.

"You know that wolf…" Lawrence stared at them. "Um, yeah, it's our pet. His name is Jacob." Lawrence nodded, too scared to say anymore. He turned to Phineas, Ferb, Candace, and his wife.

Everyone ran quickly but Candace stayed behind. "Why does all of this connect…?" She said puzzled. Edward stared at his wife eyes wide open.

Finally, it came to Candace. "You're the Cullens!" She murmured. Bella, Edward, Renesmee, and Jacob looked at each other and fled. "No, don't go!" Candace cried.

She heard her mother calling for her. She ran back to where the family entered the woods. "Let's go back to the hotel room and do something…" Linda said without finishing her sentence. Everyone but Candace nodded and the family walked back into the hotel.

Meanwhile…

Bella, Nessie, Jacob, and Edward ran back to the Cullen's house. Esme walked in from the kitchen. "How was your hunt?" She asked. "There were humans, and one of them knew us. She knew who we were." Esme stared in horror.

Carlisle came in the room. "Edward, your home from your hunt early." "We got exposed thanks to Jacob." Bella growled. Jacob looked at her. "What the hell, how was it me?" Bella glared at him. "You took Renesmee in front of those humans you idiot." She snapped.

"Stop fighting." Carlisle ordered. "What are we going to do?" Edward asked. Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper walked in. "Are you sure she knew what we are Edward?" Alice asked. "I read her mind, she knows we're vampires."

"What do we do?" Emmett asked. "Move out." Carlisle responded quickly. It was time they moved out, there was suspicions about them, how they didn't age, how Bella looks more like Esme then Renee now. "The time has finally come." Alice mumbled in shock. It seemed time had flown by.

"Charlie is coming over on Thursday." Bella said. "Then we leave Friday." Carlisle compromised. Bella nodded. "Alice, I want to go shopping." Renesmee nudged Alice. Alice grinned. Bella and Edward sighed. "I'll have her back by 4." Alice promised.

"Fine." Bella mumbled. Alice and Renesmee disappeared within a second.

Meanwhile…

Phineas did a cannonball into the warm water. They had found out that the hotel they were staying at had a pool. "Breathing contest!" Phineas announced to his step brother. Both boys took a deep breath and went under the water. They stayed under for about 20 seconds until Ferb shot up panting. Phineas came up right after him cheering.

"Quiet it down!" Candace yelled. She was in the hot tub relaxing. That was a long and sweaty hike. Linda and Lawrence were talking about where to take the kids out for dinner. They finally decided into taking them to Mr. Slushie Dawg.

After an hour Linda got tired of watching the kids. "Time to go." She got up and handed dripping wet Phineas and Ferb their towels. Candace grabbed hers and tied it around her like a dress.

When they went back to the hotel room Candace was first to take a shower while Phineas and Ferb worked on blueprints for their next invention when they went back home. The water soothed Candace's muscles and relaxed her even more. After a while she heard banging on the door.

"Candace, Ferb and I still need to take a shower." Phineas complained. His sister had been in the shower for an hour already. Candace walked out of the shower and dried herself down. She put on her fluffy bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom. It was Phineas's turn next to take a shower.

He quickly showered and then Ferb did the same. Soon it was 4 and they all went out to dinner. Perry stayed home in the hotel room sleeping. He wanted to relax this vacation. Then he would go back to fighting crime.

After a long wait, everyone finally got their food. The family dug in and finished in a matter of minutes. "Mom, could we get desert?" Phineas asked. "Sure." She handed him a five. "Get me a chocolate shake and your father a vanilla ice cream cone too please. Candace do you want anything?" She looked at her daughter. Candace shook her head.

Phineas looked at Ferb. "Chocolate chip cookies please." Ferb smiled. "And a chocolate shake for me." Phineas said to himself. He walked up to the counter and ordered everyone's deserts. He grabbed a tray and carried them all to their table.

After finishing their deserts the family went home. Phineas and Ferb got ready for bed and then watched some cartoons before going to sleep. Candace took another hot soothing shower until it was time for the boy's to go to bed. She got dressed again and watched TV in her pajamas.

Meanwhile…

Bella stared at the TV, she wasn't exactly watching it. Edward was in Renesmee's room putting her to sleep. Finally she heard Renesmee's door creak close and Edward appeared at her side.

He sat next to Bella and watched a little TV with her. Then, they began kissing for the rest of the night. His fingers tangled in Bella's hair. She molded myself into his shape and traced his perfect lip with her tongue. His scent made her mouth water with venom. This moment was too perfect. Too perfect to be disturbed. Until they heard the scream coming from Renesmee's room…
